Ryan negotiated with Father Moya and offered that he could work immediately.
Actually, it's not that Ruian is anxious, it's mainly because it's almost noon and he can eat right away if he works right away.
After lunch, Father Moya took Ruian to get acquainted with the blacksmith shop.
Although it is a small blacksmith shop, it is quite a big place. There is a small attic in the front, and a shop selling things on the first floor. The shop is taken care of by Moya's father's wife, and people live on the second floor.
There are all kinds of iron tools on display in the shop. The equipment among them is mainly weapons, and of course there are some other equipment, such as farm tools. However, Kata City is known as the "City of Mercenaries", so weapons are naturally
Hot-selling equipment, other equipment is just a foil.
Among the weapons, they are basically swords. There are all kinds of swords, including short swords, long swords, rapiers, epees, two-handed swords, etc. There are almost no other types of weapons. It can be seen that swords are very important here.
How popular the world is.
Among the weapons, in addition to swords for attack, there are also various shields for protection and a small amount of iron armor. There are small, medium and large shields, light and heavy shields, and shields made of pure iron.
Wood on the inside, iron-clad shield on the outside, etc. As for armor, it is a high-tech weapon, and Father Moya’s blacksmith shop only sells a small amount of armor.
Of course, the weapons sold in Moya's blacksmith shop are all ordinary goods, and there are very few high-end ones. This is not because Moya cannot make good weapons, but the consumption level of mercenaries in Kata City is really average.
Very few people can afford expensive weapons, and mercenaries who can afford expensive weapons look down on small blacksmith shops like Moya's. They usually go to large blacksmith shops to buy them.
Although Father Moya sells cheap and common products, he makes small profits but quick turnover, so the business is still quite good.
There is a large yard behind the blacksmith shop. There are several houses behind the yard, which are the ironmaking room and the blacksmithing room. This is where blacksmithing is done.
Moya's father teaches Ruian a lesson. It's actually very simple. He first assists Moya to smelt the iron ore into molten iron, then pour the molten iron into the mold and melt it into the general shape of the instrument to be made. For example, if you want to make a sword,
First melt the molten iron into a long iron block.
Then it's Ruian's job. Ruian needs to heat and hammer these iron blocks, pound them hard, and create the shape of the instrument.
After forging the iron, Ryan's work is over, and the next work is handed over to Father Moya, who will carefully forge and grind it. Of course, some too simple instruments, such as farm tools, do not need to be
It can be built and hammered directly by Ruian.
Finally, Father Moya took Ryan to a small room at the far side, which is where Ryan will live from now on. According to Father Moya, Ryan will live here from now on, and such a wide yard will be his at night.
Father Moya and his wife lived in a small attic above the shop. Once they closed the doors of the shop and the yard at night, they were two worlds that did not disturb each other.
"We are an old married couple, but we still need a world of two." Ruian couldn't help but murmur in his stomach.
After a long and lengthy introduction, Father Moya asked Ruian to start forging iron. Ruian couldn't help but sigh: "The bosses in this world are the same as in the previous life, exploiting the value of workers to the maximum extent.
"
Physical work such as blacksmithing was a job that Ruian's thin body in his previous life was completely incompetent for, but for the now bulky Ruian, it is as simple as eating.
Swinging a hammer weighing more than ten kilograms does not feel like a heavy burden to Ruian. After all, as a mercenary who used to specialize in human shields, weighing more than ten kilograms is really nothing.
Furthermore, being a blacksmith's assistant does not require much skills. You only need to use a hammer to hit the iron block vigorously. This makes Ruian, who was half-hearted in the past and did not learn much skills, feel relieved.
.
After hitting some large instruments hundreds of times with a hammer, hitting some small instruments dozens of times, and hitting more than a dozen pieces of equipment in a row, Ruian completed today's workload.
The blacksmith shop's business is quite good, but it can't sell that many instruments, only about ten pieces a day. Moreover, Father Moya can't complete many pieces of work in a day. Although these instruments are cheap,
But it's not shoddy, it still takes some time.
After swinging the hammer for a long time, although the hammer was not heavy for Ruian, after half a day, Ruian still felt sore in his arm, which was a bit overwhelming.
Ruian discovered a shortcoming of this body, that is, it has great strength, but lacks endurance and cannot last long.
As darkness gradually fell, a large plate in the yard lit a bonfire, illuminating the entire yard. Father Moya was still busy. Although there were not many unfinished equipment on hand, he still completed them.
Rest again.
After finishing the work, Ryan, who had nothing to do, did not help in the yard. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't help. Besides, Father Moya didn't want him to help. He stayed in his small room, looking at a small but bright lamp on the table.
He was dazed by the very bright oil lamp, and now he finally understood that the world is lit by lamp oil. To be honest, Ruian was used to working overtime very late in his previous life, but he felt a little uncomfortable when he had some free time.
But he was unwilling to go out drinking and bragging like Ruian did before. So Ruian continued to think about his future plans.
As the night got deeper, Father Moya finally finished his work and closed the courtyard door after cleaning up. In this way, Ryan was alone in this wide and quiet courtyard.
Ruian suddenly felt endless loneliness welling up in his heart, turning into a touch of sadness and flowing throughout his body. His mind began to think of his past life involuntarily...
At this time, Ryan shook his head violently, as if to shake away these memories that he did not want to recall. He stood up and walked back and forth in the small room, constantly muttering to himself: "Big guy, very powerful..."
Strength...speed...increased speed...big guy, very bulky..."
Next, Ryan tried to squat down and stand up. He found that the whole movement felt very cumbersome. He could squat down, but the speed was not slow and it looked very forced.
Ruian quickly took a few steps forward, but found that his feet were very stiff and he couldn't move forward. Not to mention kicking, even if his feet were separated at a 45-degree angle, it was difficult. With such feet, apart from letting Ruian be
I really can't think of what a human shield that doesn't need to move can do.
Ryan quickly waved his hands back and forth, and found that the speed was very fast, but the muscles in his upper arms and upper body were very large, and there was a feeling of obstruction between swings. Also, maybe Ryan was too accustomed to using his right hand in the past, which caused him to wave his left hand.
It feels far less powerful and faster than my right hand.
At this point, Ruian couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was completely speechless about the old Ruian, and it was incredible that he could live as a mercenary for two years with such skills before something happened. However, now that he knows where the problem lies
, we need to find a way to solve it.
Looking back at the past memories, Ruian smiled bitterly again. In the past, Ruian's only way to exercise was weightlifting. He kept lifting weights and worked very hard, which made Ruian's body become bigger and stronger.
.
Moreover, I know from previous memories that many people in this world also use weightlifting to build strength.
Ruian searched the memory carefully, hoping to find a way to change his current strength and lack of dexterity. After a while, Ruian was disappointed and speechless. The former Ruian was really a loser. Not only did he not know anything, but he also had nothing.
Understand.
As a last resort, Ruian can only rely on the memory of his past life to improve his abilities. But in his previous life, Ruian was just an ordinary factory worker, even if his education was from a college. How could he know any secrets of exercises? Speaking of secrets of exercises,
Ruian in his previous life has been described in novels and seen a lot of performances on TV. If Ruian in his previous life was asked to tell you the names of the moves and imitate the moves on TV and dance a few times, he would be able to do it, but if you want to use
If there are any secrets on how to improve your abilities, then you are really powerless.
In the end, Ruian can only decide that starting from tomorrow, he will use some popular physical exercise methods to exercise his current body, such as running, push-ups, sit-ups, etc., plus a set of radio gymnastics. See if he can improve his body.
